Beacon Frame Transmission Control Method and Related Apparatus

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the beacon interval (BI) comprises N equal time periods, wherein N−1 is equal to a quantity of secondary APs in the AP collaboration group; a transmission time period of the first beacon frame corresponds to a first time period in the N time periods; and (N−1) equal time periods in the N time periods other than the first time period are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the indication information comprises a list, the list comprises the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group, the list further comprises an identifier used to indicate each AP of the AP collaboration group, and a location of each identifier in the list is in a one-to-one correspondence with the (N−1) equal time periods; and the transmission time period of the second beacon frame of the secondary AP is an equal time period corresponding to the location of the identifier of the secondary AP in the list.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein a beacon interval (BI) comprises N equal time periods, wherein N−1 is equal to a quantity of secondary APs in the AP collaboration group; a transmission time period of the first beacon frame corresponds to a first time period in the N time periods; and (N−1) equal time periods in the N time periods other than the first time period are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the indication information comprises a list, the list comprises the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group, the list further comprises an identifier used to indicate each AP of the AP collaboration group, and a location of each identifier in the list is in a one-to-one correspondence with the (N−1) equal time periods; and the transmission time period of the second beacon frame of the secondary AP is an equal time period corresponding to the location of the identifier of the secondary AP in the list.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the beacon interval (BI) comprises N equal time periods, wherein N−1 is equal to a quantity of secondary APs in the AP collaboration group; a transmission time period of the first beacon frame corresponds to a first time period in the N time periods; and (N−1) equal time periods in the N time periods other than the first time period are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the indication information comprises a list, the list comprises the plurality of APs of the AP collaboration group, the list further comprises an identifier used to indicate each AP of the AP collaboration group, and a location of each identifier in the list is in a one-to-one correspondence with the (N−1) equal time periods; and the transmission time period of the second beacon frame of the secondary AP is an equal time period corresponding to the location of the identifier of the secondary AP in the list.
